Sedni completes an important automation project at Navantia shipyard. Ship “Cerro de la Pez” for PEMEX

Navantia has delivered to PEMEX the vessel “Cerro de la Pez”. Her name honours the location of the first oil well drilled in Mexico in 1904.

“Cerro de la Pez” is a platform support vessel (BAP) suitable for accommodating over 700 oil platforms workers in the Gulf of Mexico for long periods of time. The vessel was designed to the higher comfort of the users at sea, so several leisure and recreation facilities has been included. A large telescopic finger, to facilitate the passage of personnel from the vessel to the platforms, and a helideck stand out in the upper decks.

Sedni has been the Spanish maker in charge of supplying the Integrated Alarm Monitoring and Control System (IAMCS). With this project Sedni consolidates its renowned experience in automation in all types of ships. This has been a project of great magnitude where our DIAMAR® manages more than 5000 channels coming mainly from engine room. Above picture shows example of monitored and controlled main systems. The DIAMAR® distributed architecture satisfies all safety and reliability requirements from DNV-GL DP3 class notation and SRtP rules (Safe Return to Port).
